  • 2004: The unmanned spacecraft Genesis receives a warning from AESOP, the alleged autonomous artificial intelligence living in the Earth's ionosphere, about "return capsule parachute failure". The Genesis capsule will crash-land in Utah on September 8, 2004, after a design flaw prevents the deployment of its drogue parachute.
